Moms in their 40s

I’m 44 with a 5 year old and life is amazing. I’ve been raising this kid alone the whole time and I’m living a dream life where I live between the US, Thailand and Spain. I own a home, have a good remote job, keep my kid with me all day.

I want to have a second child. But not desperately. I’d need to borrow some semen from the bank and while I think it’s unfortunate to not know the origin of the semen and the possibility of 100 siblings , I’m open to it. My insurance covers IUI and IVF through my next birthday.

Would you start over as mom of an infant at 45 years old?

Hi all! I’m looking to start a semi-sexy text chat or something similar with bi-curious or bisexual ladies in my age range. We can kind of make it whatever we want but I’d love to get to know some others in my same boat of being bisexual but married to a man. I’d love to share pics, hype each other up, and listen to the vents of the day with someone who is going to get it. Anyone interested in joining me?

Definitely 💯

I’m really struggling with something and would appreciate some perspective from other mums.

My partner and I have a newborn, and he does a lot for our family. He adores our daughter and is doing his best. I know we’re both under a lot of stress adjusting to life with a baby.

But there’s one boundary I’ve been very clear about: no verbal abuse or name-calling, especially in front of our daughter.

Recently he called me a “piece of shit.” I told him that was not okay and that it couldn’t happen again.

It happened again, and I told him there couldn’t be a third time.

The third incident was the night before last when he told me I should “learn to shut my mouth.” That really hurt and felt like a line had been crossed.

Last night I tried to talk to him calmly about what happened and why it upset me. Instead, he blamed me for “holding onto things.” He also said he’s sorry he “turned out like his dad.”

I love him and I know he does a lot for us, and I’m not pretending I’m perfect either. But I also don’t want my daughter growing up thinking it’s normal for partners to speak to each other like this.

Has anyone been through something like this? I really don’t want to leave. Or am I ignoring a serious red flag?

I’d really appreciate honest perspectives
